Logical and operator

---

  logical-and-expr  :=  logical-and-expr  &&  inclusive-or-expr   logical-and-expr  and  inclusive-or-expr  

The logical and operator converts its operands to type bool and returns a bool result. This built-in operator is a short-circuit operator, so if the left operand is false , the expression yields false without evaluating the right operand. Note that an overloaded operator and cannot be short-circuited and must evaluate both operands. The keyword and is interchangeable with the && token.

Example

 int* p; if (p != NULL  and  *p != 0)   do_stuff(*p);
